Clinical trials: Upper Limb Amputees
Amputation of Lower Limb Above Knee
Evaluation of Transfemoral Amputees When Transitioning From a Mechanical to a Microprocessor Prosthetic Knee
The central hypothesis of this proposal is that real-life benefits of microprocessor knees (MPK) are largely underappreciated because of the lack of sensitive and ecologically valid methods for evaluating motor performance.
